Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
ST.. PETERSBURG, December l5.-The
official Military Gazette says: "Owing
to the alarm caused by the Austrian
press in consequence of the transfer Of
some Russian cavalry to the Warsaw
district it is advisable to consider the
military position OF Russia and her
western frontier neiyhbors in order to
throw a light upon the question as to
who is really preparing for attack and
Defense" After enumerating in de-
tail the increase in the effectiveness OF
the German and Austrian armies dur
ing tue past five years, it says: CAL
these preparations are meaningless,
except in view of the offensive tactics,
which show thatAust ia s semblance OF
defense is really a proposition to invade
Russia simultaneously with her ally.
But what is kus il doing in view Of
her neighbours threatening prepare
tons? Notwithstanding the manifest
danger, Russia considers that a
European war would be a ter ible
misfortune to all mankind, and she
was the first who, amid her neigh
boris feverish armament, did not in
crease, but decreased her defensive
forces. The effectiveness of the Rus
sian army is u, 900 less than in 1881,
while her neighbors in the same
period have raised theirs the same
amount.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
The most effective measure against
danger would be the extension of the
Russian railway system to the proper
lions of those of our neighhorS, but as
this requires time and money, the
only course is to increase the troops
on the frontier. The transfer of a few
cavalry regiments on the Vistula
might be made pretext to excite the
PRESS to charge Russia with warlike
intentions, but German and Austrian
military authorities understand the
defensive character of this meas
ure. They can calculate how
many corps Russia will have to
send to the frontier while peace is
undisturbed. so that after concentra-
ton at any given point the forces and
means at her disposal might suffice to
place Russia on an equality with her
opponents. Russia has an undoubted
right to provide for her own defense. "

will cause no change in the attitude
of Austria. The Government before
taking actively responsive measures
of offense will wait to see whether
Russia continues her threatening mill
tary preparations.
